It’s true that you tend to stay in one position on a 5-string . . . but not, like he says, at the lower end. It’s because we only rarely need notes below E. More likely, we stay in one position around the middle, so we can play over two octaves from E ( on the B string) as our lowest note. Different story, of course, if you have EADGC tuning. Then, you will tend to stay at the low end of the neck.

Fretless 6 with a minimum of 18mm string spacing at the bridge. Forces good left hand technique

4-string all day. There’s a discipline a 4 forces you to have. People tend to overplay on 5s and up….

So smooth

Neck is too big when you start getting more than 4 strings. I’m a guitar player with larger hands I think if it ain’t broke with 4 strings I’m keeping it.

Where are all the likes and comment's!! Thanks so much bro you the only person I could find that fixed my issue. I'm subscribing !!!

What are videos you have

love crystal kay! you guys killed it ❤

Let's go cuzzzz!!!!!

your voice (and talking about Basses) is my kind of ASMR

The correct answer is: you should play a six string bass.

I can't afford either one. Since you look like your successful send me a 4 or 5 string please. I've played bass 16 yrs

This might come off bit lengthy but I'd like to share something. I am what I would consider guitarist-turned-bassist even though I started from a bass. Started doing bass again when I got ushered to play in a 3 piece instrument rock band, and started, as usual, playing on 4. Even though I love the simplicity on minimal strings, I just can't help the fact that having one bass and one guitar playing loud music just doesn't seem to cut it (or maybe it's just that I am not that good lol anyway nvm), so I turned my 4 strings with B setups. I even DMed Kelsey from The Free Nationals through instagram seeing that he does that, and according to him he's just comfortable having low B on a smaller neck, and if he needs to whip higher notes he'll play around higher frets. Anyway, again, could be me who might not feel as easy to just run my hands so I figured, hell, get a 5. Played on it for few years now ever since, and I had lesser issue having to use thicker strings and setups. Anyhow, my point being, I guess, use what suits you the most, and what serves the song best. Doesn't mean you can't do heavy RnB on a 4 strings but would definitely doesn't hurt to use a 5.

4 corde j aime lpas les 5 ou 6 ordre

How long does it take for you to learn a song on bass?

This fulfills my very specific niche of needing a dexterity exercise that also sounds like a Castlevania level. 🎉

I didn’t know I needed this but here I am and it’s brilliant. lol

Yessir!!!!

butter.

Man great video great advice, hey man your a teacher, you got it!!

Excellent work!

Leven kali: Melting/had 2 I think you'll really enjoy playing this. ⚡️

Great video, it encouraged me. Thank you for sharing !

The beard looks fine, nice Vibe.

Putting your own flavor on this J5 classic; ok. Very good rendition. It’s like listening to the way the late great Louis Johnson would have interpreted this song. You’re goovin’ it. 🎼🎼🎼👍🏾🇺🇸

🎶😎🎵 🎙((🎸))🎧

Groovy as fuck

MY GRANDSON SNAPPED ON THIS ONE ❤️🙏🏽🙌🏽

this hit fr

For the first second I thought you were gonna say the Amp xD but you are teaching the right lessons bro

I'd say intonation and even more important is the action. That slightly out of tune note or chord can be mitigated, but that buzz sound because the strings are too close to the neck pains my soul.

What if I use a pick? 😢

Im guessing hes saying play with your heart and practice and concentrate when playing as well and you will sound good

You look tired 😴, man...get some sleep

I've watched this so many times its not even funny

No one says that

As Cartmam proved this theory only works if you are from African decent 😂

All I’m thinking of is that South Park episode when Cartman starts a band and tells Tolkien he can play bass even tho he’s never played a day in his life and when he does try he’s a natural

Thanks for the video!

Step one: own a bass

Damn right! Pick it up and play it. I was in a band during high school. I initially played keyboard, but then I wanted to play bass. So, I picked it up and played it alongside my friends. We ended up forming a punk band.
